Thomas Stone was elected to be on the committee drafting the Articles of Confederation. During this time, his wife came to visit him in Philadelphia. Smallpox was running rampant through the colonies, so Thomas had Margaret inoculated. It affected her poorly. She grew very sick; and though she initially recovered, her health was never the same. She continued to decline over the years.“
They use the same playbook time after time after time.

My mom did a deep dive on my family history back in the early 90's. She made it all the way back to the first of my name, who was an orphan found in a field.
My ancestors were criminals who fled Europe to hide in the US.
The most notable name she came across in the tree was Daniel Boone.
Fast forward to today, dad did 23 & me,..now we are black somehow.
As far as I can find, my family lost more members fighting in the Revolutionary war than any other. We are humbled by being unknown nationally, yet our many tragic losses are locally recorded. We are now over 26 thousand strong. Yet, none of us want glory or fame for those tragic losses, but demand the results for what we so earnestly fought for. Happy 4th of July and Independence Day..
We,too, are of Daniel Boone’s family. My Grandmother, especially, I consider a pioneer. These people endured lots of hardship to build a life for their families in this country.

Too bad they just killed affirmative action.

Good stuff. We all live in difficult times, then and now. Thank you for the post.
